      I have faith and hope just sometimes when I have my really really bad days life really gets to me and I can't take much more of it. I am sure this is a common defense to everyone else with any problems like me. My mother and I have never gotten along but I have a gma that took over when I needed her the most. Today isn't a good day I have a horrible headache and only get on here a few times but I will get back with you asap.

      I'm doing ok! Neighbor kids still ignoring my daughter ,but in school one of the kids seems to want to hang out with her,but my girl is ignoring her in school,and the other girl gives my daugter hugs in school and at home like she doesn't know her???My daughter is fighting her off if she starts to hug her.Stuid kids.But she has one good friend in school they are hanging out in recess and once or twice see each other after school,they also go to dance together...I think ur neighbor is full of shit or she is in total remission?If u are hurting with UC ,there is absolut no way that u can manage to work like she does,thats m opinion.So got to wake up the kids for school,its picture day for my little girl ,and damit its windy&rainy like every stinking year talk to u later
